Clarey Holborn Plain-Toe Derby – Tan Burnished Calf Leather
A nod to London’s legal quarter where tradition meets fast-paced ambition, the Holborn Derby delivers board-room polish with the ease of an open lace. Hand-built in Portugal exclusively for Clarey, it pairs sun-kissed tan leather with brass hardware and a lightweight hybrid sole—ready for rain-slick pavements and after-work socials alike.
